A little reminder as to the rules, to vote you must say for wich colouring you vote in your post. The poll is not the "official" score. Normally newbies aren't allowed to vote, but I will only enforce this rule if I think that someone is using alts to get or give someone an advantage.

well, i can see this contest is going to be a draining on us voters as always - we started out with a really smashing lineup.

both keign and twister87 have done a nice job of what i consider 'classic' cartoon coloring. i would give twister a slight edge in technique, but i love keign's choice of strip - a perfect choice for that style. msfris shows wonderful technique, with the little flush on seymour's face and the end, and that great second panel - the neon almost comes off my screen! kibate does a love job in a pastel style (again, extremely appropriate for that strip) - beautiful shading job (and i just have to mention again how much i love tat's touch with the hearts on the girl's heads in the last panel). i also must admit to liking the shading heart has used on her strip, with monique fading into the peachy glow of other people's dreams.

but my vote is going to dicola. lovely technique and attention to detail (check out the way the chair cushion reacts to nique's weight, and they way she seems to be lit by the lightening flash in the first panel) - and the colors perfectly set the mood.

you know, i think i _will_ start coloring strips myself - that way, there will be one strip that no one will feel bad about not voting for._________________aka: neverscared!
